Then, she saw him walking to Niamh smoothly. His deep eyes were twinkling softly as his gaze enveloped Niamh tightly.
“The only person I care about is just Nia and Nia only.”
Niamh was dispirited after hearing what he said. The words had struck Nevaeh heavily.
However, how could she accept it? She had meticulously planned for a fun night with Kendrick when Niamh’s sudden appearance ruined it.
Nevaeh tried to suppress the rage and dissatisfaction in her heart, wanting to make Kendrick stay. However, she saw his sharp gaze landing precisely on her face.
“Don’t try to start anything with me. I won’t feel anything even if you stand buck naked in front of me.”
“…” Nevaeh was frozen instantly. That sentence gave her such a huge blow.
However, Kendrick would not care about how she felt. He grabbed Niamh’s hand and turned around.
Nevaeh stood frozen on the same spot, her face feeling like it was burning due to embarrassment.
She turned around furiously and pushed the wine on the bartop to the floor.
“Niamh, you insufferable b*tch!” Nevaeh clenched her fists and tried to suppress the rage inside her that was threatening to burn everything in her way. The flames in her eyes were burning brighter and brighter. She wanted so badly to burn Niamh into ashes.
Kendrick pulled Niamh into the elevator. Now, there were only the two of them in the enclosed space.
“Nia, I knew you’d come.” It was as if Kendrick knew what was going to happen and was not surprised about Niamh’s appearance.
Niamh could already figure things out after listening to him. “You knew I was following behind you, so you also intentionally left the door open for me, right?”
Kendrick nodded. “I just wanted to see what Felicity was trying to do.”
“So have you seen it now? She likes you and is even presenting herself to you.”
Kendrick smiled and looked at Niamh after he heard that. He could sense a hint of jealousy in that sentence.
He took one step closer to her. “Nia, you’re concerned about me.”
Niamh scoffed nonchalantly when he said that. “Kendrick, you’re overthinking things just like Felicity. I’m not concerned about you.”
After she said that, the door of the elevator opened. Niamh walked out of the elevator without even turning back.
Kendrick chased after her all the way to the parking lot. “Nia, Nia!”
He kept calling her name despite her ignoring him, his tone still gentle as he followed her patiently.
He was experiencing what Niamh went through back then by being so patient and careful.
What was his experience right now compared to what she had gone through?
It was nothing.
When he saw Niamh getting into the car, he quickly climbed into the passenger seat.
“Why are you here?” Niamh stopped starting the car. “Get out.”
Kendrick did not dare to go against Niamh’s wishes. However, at this moment, he decided to go against her.
“Kendrick Waldburg, I asked you to get out.”
“Nia, let’s not fool ourselves, okay?” he said all of a sudden.
Niamh looked at his clear eyes in confusion before frowning. “Fool ourselves? What do you mean?”
Kendrick looked into her confused eyes with a solemn gaze. “Nia, I love you. I don’t want to lie to myself that I don’t care about you so that I can give you to Felipe.”
He got slightly closer to her and continued, “I hope you’ll do the same, Nia. Stop lying to yourself. I know you still have feelings for me and there’s still a spot for me in the deepest part of your heart.”
Perhaps Kendrick’s eyes were too bewitching, so Niamh was stuck in a daze for a few seconds before coming back to her senses. With a smirk, she said, “Kendrick, I feel nothing for you. The person I like is Felipe.”
Kendrick shook his head after she said that. “The person you’ve liked this entire time is me. Even if you’ve lost your memories and have forgotten how you used to love me, it still won’t stop you from developing feelings for me.
“It’s because I still exist in your heart, Nia. That’s why you saved me without hesitating when I was almost hit by the car. That’s why you frantically screamed out my name at that moment. These are the best proof of it.”
Niamh’s eyes glinted ominously when she heard that. Then, she averted her eyes from him and said coldly, “Kendrick, shut up. I have no feelings for you. I told you, I don’t want to owe you anything.”
She was starting to not make sense as she chased him away. “Get out.”
However, Kendrick reached over and grabbed her before putting his face close to hers. “Nia, stop lying to yourself. You still love me.”
Niamh glared at him angrily. “Kendrick, I’m going to tell you one last time. I don’t. The person I love is Feli… Huh?”
Before Niamh could utter the last syllable, Kendrick leaned down and captured her lips in his.
Before Niamh could say the last syllable, Kendrick leaned down and captured Niamh’s lips in his.
The narrow interior of the car was dimly lit.
Niamh widened her eyes and looked shockingly at the man who was suddenly kissing her. His eyes were closed and he looked focused. However, it looked as if he was enjoying kissing her even more.
She could feel Kendrick’s breath on her face, and his scent was making her face heat up.
Niamh jerked back to reality quickly and pushed Kendrick away, only for the man to pull her even closer to him.
Her resistance only made him want to dominate her even more.
Niamh’s fingers gripped Kendrick’s sleeves tightly in an attempt to push him away.
When she saw Kendrick having no intention to let her go, she decided to bite down on him.
The sharp pain caused Kendrick to stop what he was doing as the metallic taste of blood started spreading across his lips immediately.
He then reluctantly let go of Niamh. When he saw the blood on her lips, he leaned down and kissed her softly again. However, in the next second, he received a hard slap from Niamh.
She glared at him, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.
Despite knowing that he was acting impulsively before, Kendrick did not regret it at all.
“I won’t allow you to say that you love him.” He suddenly emphasized this with a tone that was filled with stubborn childishness. His deep eyes were filled with intense possessiveness and prejudice for her.
“Kendrick, who are you to not allow me to do that?” she asked him with a gaze that was even more intense than his. “Did you ever appreciate me when I loved you? Who are you to disallow me to love another man now? Do you think you can wipe away all of the hurt you caused me with just an apology?” Niamh asked angrily while trying to calm herself down.
“You’re right, I don’t remember a lot of things, but your mother told me that you blinded and disfigured me for Nevaeh! Even if you hadn’t disfigured me or blinded me, you’re still the person who enabled Nevaeh’s sinister intentions!
“Get out.”
She kicked him out again.
Kendrick looked at Niamh’s icy gaze and finally got out of the car.
Niamh drove away quickly, leaving Kendrick to stand on the same spot.
He could still feel the fiery pain of Niamh’s slap and the sting from where Niamh bit him just now, but he was not in pain at all.
On the other hand, he felt rather satisfied.
This satisfaction did not come from the kiss just now, but rather, he felt that Niamh was truly concerned and cared about him.
If not, she would not have followed him earlier.
…
On the way home, Niamh kept replaying what Kendrick said just now and his sudden possessive kiss.
“Nia, stop lying to yourself. You still love me.”
The man’s clear and alluring voice lingered in her ear.
She shook her head and forced herself to stop thinking about it.
At this moment, she received a call from Felipe. He said he had just gotten out of the plane and asked if Niamh could pick him up.
Niamh drove straight to Glendale Airport, and when she saw Felipe, there was a woman next to him. She was fair and had a pair of long legs.
Felipe draped his arm across Niamh’s shoulder and introduced that girl to her, “Cathy, this is my wife, Eveline.”
When the girl heard that, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes. Then, she introduced herself magnanimously, “Hello, Eveline. I’m Felipe’s sister. You can call me Cathy.”
“Sister?”
‘Felipe has a sister?’
Niamh was surprised when she heard the girl explaining. “I’m not Felipe’s biological sister. My parents died when I was 15. During the lowest and most helpless point of my life, Felipe appeared and financially supported me. That’s how I managed to graduate from university this year. It’s all thanks to Felipe.”
